N2  - The article describes the witnesses of three Venetian chronicles of the Houghton Library of the Harvard University in Cambridge (Massachusetts). The paper manuscript Ital. 67, dating to the 16th century, is acephalous and contains a history of Venice from 1106 to the 15th century. The story ends, in fact, by mentioning the noble captain Piero Loredan (1372 - 28 October 1438). The codex belonged to the Ward M. Canaday couple, who donated it to the Houghton library in 1964. The paper manuscript Ital. 178 dates to the XV century (the term post quem is 1417) and contains a history of Venice from the origins to the fifteenth century. It is mutilated in the final part. The codex belonged first to Walter Sneyd (1809-1888), then to Charles William Previté-Orton (1877-1947). It is not possible at the moment to indicate the exact date when the manuscript became part of the collection of the Houghton Library, where it is housed since 1996. The paper manuscript Riant 12 dates to the 17th century and contains a Chronicle of Venice from its foundation until 1432. The codex belonged to Count Paul Edouard Didier Riant (1836-1888) and entered the library of Harvard University in 1899. Keywords Venetian chronicles. Description of manuscripts. Houghton Library of Cambridge (Massachusetts). Ms. Ital. 67. Ital. 178. Riant 12.
